Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    So, where has your avatar gone? Have the Azeris been asserting their copyright of it.
    I'm not sure I think it's a forum error, the moderator image isn't showing either. Hmph!

        That's an understatement.
        For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
        to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

          MUCH ADO IN TBILISI

          Sunday Herald
          October 2, 2011 Sunday
          UK

          1 Edition

          As I arrived in Tbilisi, the beautiful capital city of Georgia,
          on Wednesday, I knew that (as a member of the executive committee
          of the International Association of Theatre Critics) I was walking
          into something of a political storm. In mid-August, Robert Sturua,
          the internationally acclaimed artistic director of the Rustaveli
          National Theatre of Georgia, was sacked by the Georgian minster of
          culture, Nikoloz Rurua, on a charge of xenophobia.

          Sturua s dismissal related to a comment he made to a tabloid journalist
          about the president of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, in May of this
          year. An outspoken critic of the government, Sturua commented that it
          was possible that Saakashvili did not love Georgia because he was of
          Armenian descent. It was a reprehensible comment; but one which the
          director s supporters insisted reflected, not an underlying xenophobia,
          but rather renowned provocateur Sturua s frustration with Saakashvili
          (whom the director believes to have been hiding his Armenian heritage).

          It was in this somewhat febrile context that my IATC colleagues and
          I attended Thursday night s performance of Sturua s production of
          Georgian dramatist Tamaz Chiladze s new play The Hunting Season,
          after which we were to meet with the director himself. When we met
          Sturua backstage, we found him defiant. He had, he said, been sacked
          because of his political criticisms of the government. There was,
          he continued, no question of him being Armenophobic; indeed, he
          had great respect for the immense contribution made by Armenians to
          Georgian culture over centuries.

          However, I was still troubled by the comment he made back in May. I
          pressed him on the matter. Did he believe that he could have phrased
          his criticism of Saakashvili in a better way? Did he regret saying
          what he said? He nodded vigorously. Yes, he regretted the language
          he used. He harbours no xenophobic feelings towards Armenians or
          anybody else.

          Having arrived at the theatre worried about our meeting with Sturua,
          I left relieved. If, in a short meeting, the IATC executive could
          get from Sturua a statement of regret and a clear assertion of his
          opposition to Armenophobia, how could the Georgian government not have
          come to such an agreement with him in the three months between his
          statement and his sacking? That question is posed by the statement
          of support for Sturua which the IATC released on Friday.

          All of which made the work on stage seem almost incidental. In the
          end, Chiladze s play (a modishly postmodern, obliquely metaphorical
          drama of the personal and the political) did little to enthuse.

          Georgia, America and the world unfold from within the life of a
          Georgian actress, apparently haunted in her flat. Disney s Snow
          White And The Seven Dwarfs is juxtaposed, uncomfortably (and almost
          frivolously), with images of the bodies of Nazi Holocaust victims
          being shovelled into mass graves. When Prince Charming arrives,
          not with a glass slipper but a training shoe, it comes as no surprise.

          None of which detracts from the superb acting or the sweeping vision
          of Sturua s production. Nor does it detract from the extraordinary
          achievement of the third Tbilisi International Festival of Theatre,
          which has, political controversy aside, established itself as a major
          event in the world theatre calendar.

            What about Assyrians? I have heard that Armenians and Assyrians are related historically.

              Actually when Assyria was an independent kingdom fell for good, Armenia rose to power. Prior to this, the Armenian highlands were dominated by the Kingdom of Ararat (Urartu). Genetically, we're closest to Georgians and Azeris, and probably Assyrians as well due to their involvement in Ararat. However, I believe Assyrians and Armenians are close simply due to geographic proximity, religion (culture) and similar fate (with Western Armenians).

                I mistook an Iranian for an Armenian once b/c his name was basically a variant of Vahan, but he wasn't an armo at all.

                As far as what people have guessed at me being the list is long

                *Mexican and basically every other Hispanic/Latino culture
                *Arab
                *Iranian
                *xxx
                *Greek
                *Indian
                *Native American
                *Italian
                *Romanian
                *Spanish
                *French-only once b/c I had a goatee and the stoner that told me this said that "all french people have goatees"

                  While it's true that some Azeris look a bit like us, I can usually tell them apart by that wild look in their eyes-- Armenians have a different look in their eyes. (..and I'm not even being biased, it's just truth based on my own experience )
                  Azeris are not looking like Armenian peoples. Asi ban er eli sut.

                    Genetically Armenians are Western Asians and cluster with Iranians. Armenians are a intermediate group between Assyrians, Anatolian Turks/Kurds and Caucasians.
